The large-scale benefit rock concert found its beginnings in the 1980s. The first of these, Live Aid, had an estimated global audience of 1.9 billion across 150 nations who tuned into the live broadcast. Bill Graham, concert promoter and Holocaust survivor, produced this massive undertaking–and in doing so, set the stage for the large-scale music festivals we know today. Join us for this Sunday Story as we explore the legacy of Bill Graham and the history of the music festival.
Video will be posted on the CJM Facebook page on Sunday at 10am
